Galaxy Fold Youtube Shorts Bug

Cannot View Comments

Although the main Youtube app is working, users cannot view any comments when watching Youtube Shorts with this bug. Opening the comments section closes the Youtube Short video, throwing the user back to the previous browsed menu. It can be pretty annoying especially if you want to see if the video itself is authentic or correct as the comments can provide clarity to the subject matter being discussed.

When searching the net for solutions, users of Samsung Galaxy Folds 1, 2, and even 3, have all experienced this bug. This may be due to the way how the phone works as it has to support 2 screens and Samsung themselves have to look for solutions to make default apps work.
